Chapter Three

I wake up, but today felt different. I had this feeling in my gut, I couldn't quite describe it, but it was very weird.

I shake off the thought and hop on out of bed.

I quickly slip on some leggings, and a light pink shirt with some holes in it. I then match it with my white converse.

I skip out of my room and walk down the stairs, and heading straight for the door. I lock it on my way out and walk into the elevator.

Inside the elevator I see my neighbor, Alissa. We both just smile at each other and exit at the Lobby.

I swiftly unlock my car and get in, turning it on. I make sure everything is in order before putting on my seatbelt and making my way onto the streets of Los Angeles.

I decided I would go shopping today, since I just moved here, and I wanted a change of style.

I go on my gps and look for a mall near me, apparently there was one just 15 minutes away from my house! I turn on the radio, and have the volume just so it is quietly playing.

I hum along to some songs I recognize while waiting at a stop light. I quickly check my phone and see that I had a couple new followers.

Huh that's weird, I thought to myself.

I see the light turn green, and I turn into the mall entrance, seeing a huge super modern mall.

I spend at least 20 minutes looking for a parking, I guess the mall is packed today.

I get out of my car and make my way into the mall, my ears being met with the noise of loud chatter. I take in my surroundings, seeing moms dragging their children everywhere, the children dreading being at the mall. The kids would much rather be at home playing.

I look around trying to find the stores I usually shop at, finally after looking around for a while I find an H & M.

The amount of people inside was quite overwhelming, I didn't think the store could hold this many people. I stroll around the store, occasionally digging through some racks to see if anything caught my eye.

The store was quite huge, half of it perfectly decided for women, and the other half for men.

I walk towards the back of the store to see lots of different pairs of jeans.

If there is one thing I love more than Coffee and Bagels, it has to be jeans.

I go to the more darker colored jeans, and see my favorite type, black ripped skinny jeans. I scan through the different sizes and types, finally finding my size I check the price tag.

$33.99

I mean I need some more jeans, why not?

I glance around the whole store looking for a register I could pay at, finally I see it close to the front. I make my way there to see not too bad of a line considering how many people that were in the mall.

After a successful shopping trip, I get back to my car, opening the back seat of my Mercedes, I drop all of my bags into the back seats. I get in my car, and turn the keys in the hole, having it roar to life. I back out of the parking lot, deciding to drop by the coffee shop, for a quick cup of coffee. I make my way down the streets, knowing the way to the shop by heart.

I pull up to the small parking lot and park my car. I open the door hearing the same bells above me ringing as I walk in. I look up only to be met with Iliana's welcoming smile and the same old scent of coffee and bagels.

I ordered my usual and sit in the same spot. I look over and I see him. He's sitting at the same table tapping on his mouse and focused on what he was doing. He noticed someone had been staring as he looked up, and his eyes locked with mine.

Seeing his blue eyes made my heart skip a beat, and I instantly look back down, blushing slightly that he had caught me.

I couldn't get him out of my mind. His perfectly structured face, his jawline so sharp, his lips. Wow his lips were my favorite part of him. They were always so pink, and plump, so kissable. His skin looked as soft as though of a newborn baby's.

He looked different today, he looked super cuddly and cozy. He wore a Black Thrasher hoodie, with black ripped jeans, and checkered van. But atop his head, he wore a plain black beanie, hiding his beautiful golden brown locks.

I look down at his laptop, realizing, everyday, he did the same tasks; whether he was on his laptop, writing, or reading. At this point, I was super interested. I wanted to get to know him, know what he's like, get to hear his laugh ring through my ears.

I was done being the shy girl. I was intrigued by him. So I decided to do the thing I would have never thought Rose Amor would do, I got up and pulled up a chair across from him, and sat down.

His gaze instantly went up, wondering who had decided to sit down with him. His blue eyes filled with surprise as he sees me, he lifts one eyebrow as he was questioning why I had sat with him.

"Hi, I'm Rose Amor. What's your name?" I cheerfully ask sticking my hand out nervously and hope for the best.
